Pull!

Nap disturbed by helicopters? Take a pot-shot at 'em:

An 81-year-old Frenchman has been given a one-year suspended jail sentence for firing a hunting rifle at helicopters dropping water on a forest blaze... He opened fire when the low-flying helicopters disturbed his afternoon nap.


That'll probably be me in that headline in a few decades. I'm cranky enough already. Don't jack with my naps.

The judge said Mr Thiel should not have shot at water-bombing helicopters "as if they were wild ducks".


Now if he had shot at them like they were, say... wild geese? Well, that'd've been a whole different wedge of French cheese, wouldn't it? Pâté de foie gras!
